Way Behind...

I feel like I am always way behind these days! I have gotten a gift that I have not thanked anyone for. We love the little stuffed animal mascot from the Beijing Games. Al placed it in Conner's room and luckily Conner hasn't wanted to play with it yet. I think that we will have difficulty explaining to him someday that these things that arrive in the mail aren't for him. :)

Wondering...

Haven't heard from my Secret Pal whether she liked her gift...and alas, haven't gotten a Secret Pal gift for June or August. I am one of the people who is leaving the Secret Pal exchange at this juncture (we're home with Maggie and trying to get her adjusted), but really enjoyed the gifts we received from other March 2007-ers and seeing the creativity in others' gifts.

I'll be following along to hopefully see you all come home with your sons and daughters soon.

Gold Medal Thank You from the Lienke Family :-)

Dear SP --
I would just like to thank you so very much for the wonderful "Olympic" themed gifts. One is better than the next, and the little note you created that explained each gift was WONDERFUL!! I've posted a more in depth thank you on our blog Wonton Wishes & Fortune Cookie Dreams if you'd like to check it out. Thank you again, the box of presents made my day, and was a welcome surprise to come home to :-) !!!

Baby Lem SP


Thank you so much to our secret pal for the wonderful gifts... Jing Jing is my favorite mascot of the games...

We have been watching Olympic coverage over the last two week and will be very sorry to see the games end. I have loved watching the Today Show for the past two weeks seeing the sights.... Can't wait to get there to see it all.

Don't the Retailers know the Beijing Olympics are on??

You couldn't imagine how many stores and outlets had zero 2008 Beijing Olympic products here in my metropolitan area. Amazing. Had to get pretty creative. Anyone else have problems finding stuff?
All the managers that I spoke to said that the goodies will come in 2 wks after the Olympics are over! I guess they're waiting to see who gets what medals but I think they could have been selling a bunch of stuff with the just the logo on it. Coke was the only thing I found w/the emblem/logo.
Still had a lot of fun putting together my sporty little gift for my Secret Pal though!

Lienke Family Thank You!

Hi SP --

We would just like to thank you very much for the wonderful gift of books that arrived this weekend. No worries on the gift arriving late - we know how busy life is, especially during the summer. The book selection was wonderful, and we didn't have any of the titles you sent our way. They will be put away for safe keeping, and we can't wait to share them with our daughter.

Thank you again -- The Lienke Family :-)
